Thank you Mr. Nelson for helping me learn how to count and generations of other kids too. There’s an excellent obituary on WashingtonPost.com about Mr. Nelson’s life. Above, is one of my all-time favorite scenes of Count von Count from Sesame Street when he gets a job as an elevator operator.

First Mike Sellers retired. Today, Clinton Portis retires (or is it one of his alter-egos?). As a fan of the burgundy & gold, we sure do miss you and wish you the very best. Check out some of his Redskins highlights above.

Gregg Doyel at CBS Sports has a great post calling out LeBron ‘King’ James for pushing shoes ($315??) that James himself couldn’t have bought as a kid. Doyel writes that James hasn’t changed and he still doesn’t live in the real world.
